# Dice API: getting tech job postings without the partnership paperwork

Dice's job feed is the gold standard for US tech roles, but the official API is locked to enterprise integrations. Here's the dev-tier alternative - same data, REST endpoint, free tier.

Dice is the dominant US tech-job board (cleared, security-cleared, and specialty IT roles especially), and its job feed is one of the best-curated in the industry. The official “**Dice API**” is partner-only - accessible to enterprise integrations with annual minimums in the five-figure range.

Here’s the dev-tier alternative for getting Dice job data into your product without signing a contract.

## What you get from JobsPipe’s Dice source

```
curl https://api.jobspipe.dev/v1/jobs/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer jp_live_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "source_or": ["dice"], "job_title_or": ["security engineer"], "remote": true }'
```

Standard JobsPipe schema: title, company, normalized location, parsed compensation when present, posted\_at, apply\_url pointing back at Dice. The clearance level (if listed by the employer) shows up in the `tags` array - “TS/SCI”, “Secret”, “Public Trust”.

## Why Dice matters in a unified jobs API

For US tech recruiting (especially defense/intelligence-adjacent), Dice is the source you can’t skip. Most candidates for cleared roles list Dice in their job-search funnel even when they ignore Indeed and Glassdoor. If you’re building a sourcing tool that handles cleared roles, you need this source.

## Combine Dice with Indeed, LinkedIn-equivalent, and Workday

JobsPipe’s cross-source dedup is what makes the multi-source story actually useful - the same job often shows up on Dice and the employer’s Workday tenant simultaneously. Without dedup, your users see triplicates. With it, one canonical record carries both `source_refs`.
